ABSTRACT
Graphical User Interfaces present commands at particular locations, arranged in menus, toolbars, and ribbons. One hallmark of expertise with a GUI is that experts know the locations of commonly-used commands, such that they can find them quickly and without searching. Although GUIs have been studied for many years, however, there is still little known about how this spatial location memory develops, or how designers can make interfaces more memorable. One of the main ways that people remember locations in the real world is landmarks – so we carried out a study to investigate how users remember commands and navigate in four common applications (Word, Facebook, Reader, and Photoshop). Our study revealed that people strongly rely on landmarks that are readily available in the interface (e.g., layout, corners, and edges) to orient themselves and remember commands. We provide new evidence that landmarks can aid spatial memory and expertise development with an interface, and guidelines for designers to improve the memorability of future GUIs.

The Effects of Artificial Landmarks on Learning and Performance in Spatial-Memory Interfaces
CHI '17: Proceedings of the 2017 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsSpatial memory is a powerful way for users to become expert with an interface, because remembering item locations means that users do not have to carry out slow visual search. Spatial learning in the real world benefits greatly from landmarks in the ...
Improving command selection with CommandMaps
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDesigners of GUI applications typically arrange commands in hierarchical structures, such as menus, due to screen space limitations. However, hierarchical organisations are known to slow down expert users. This paper proposes the use of spatial memory ...
Use of Landmarks to Design Large and Efficient Command Interfaces
ISS '16 Companion: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Companion on Interactive Surfaces and SpacesRapid command selection is a priority for the user interface designers. Spatial memory is an effective way to improve the selection performance, since it allows users to make quick selection decisions from the memory rather than relying on the slow ...
